Position
We are seeking a full-time permanent Property Maintenance Officer to be based from our Orange or Bathurst office. This is a varied role with a mix of technical, organisational and customer interface responsibilities including:
* Providing technical advice in the provision of all maintenance activities across the portfolio;
* Monitoring the defects register for new dwellings;
* Undertaking scoping of vacant and void properties;
* Conducting quality assurance, safety and Long Term Asset Planning inspections;
* Ensuring compliance with the Sector Minimum Asset Standards;
* Coordinating and managing contractors;
* Taking calls on the maintenance hotline, creating and monitoring work orders, processing invoices, and liaising with contractors.
Generally the role is 'off-the-tools' however you might occasionally be asked to perform very minor repairs where it is more practicable than bringing in a contractor.
Qualifications and experience
* Trade or other relevant qualification;
* Prior experience managing building contracts, preferably in a housing environment;
* Working knowledge of relevant building and safety legislation;
* Solid administrative and computer skills;
* Excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds and varying socio-economic circumstances.
You will be required to obtain a Police Check and Working with Children Check if successful.
Rewards and terms
In return, Housing Plus offers salary packaging, flexible work practices, development opportunities, a supportive team culture, health and well-being program, reward and recognition, and an opportunity to make a significant impact on our community and the lives of others.
The Property Maintenance Officer is classified as a Level 5.1 under the SCHADS Award, which equates to $101,047 gross per annum. This will increase on an annual basis in line with the pay points in the Award. As Housing Plus is a Not for Profit organisation, we have access to excellent salary sacrifice options to increase your take home pay!
Application
We will start screening and interviewing suitable candidates as they come through, so you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
